[Boatanchors] My short vent

[rbethman]

All,

I find that KA4INM is simply a traveling coward that writes to me direct 
yet "highly" likely doesn't practice what he preaches.

* I am supposed to meet with the local club and teach the newbies. *
* I am supposed to mentor them.*

News Flash!

The only thing that goes on around here is:

     A - Constant teaching new Amateurs.
     B - Constant testing new Amateurs.
     C - Constant encourage new Amateurs to join and be active in the 
Local Radio
            Club.

So the *wise acre* has no clue!  He also has NO Spine!

I've set my message filters to simply delete "ITS" messages.  He doesn't 
get it!

Such is life as it is.

Regards,
Bob - N0DGN
